Although we are the richest nation in the world, 49 milliion people, including more than 16 million children, were at risk of going hungry last year (an increase of 34% over the previous year).

To end hunger in our country, we must work together and address the problem in our own communities. The famliles, children and individuals that worry about where their next meal will come from, or have to skip a few meals, could live right next door to you.
